CATALYZING the Conversation | This issue examines the consequences of an extractive, consumer-driven global economy and encourages thinking about new models and methods. It speaks to the need for life-centered rather than human-centered design thinking and economic models that are driven by conservation of resources rather than consumption of resources. Climate safe economies will emerge because they must.
